| |  Favorite recipes for beef tongue?
I love beef tongue. Some years ago when it was priced like neck bones, I'd buy it a lot. Now it's pretty expensive.
Anyway, to the topic--one of my favorite ways of preparing it is to cook it like corned beef, with corned beef spices. I love it hot, and I love it cold in sandwiches.
Do you have a favorite way of preparing it? I've seen other threads that had mention of it, but none that had it as the subject. |

Tacos, smoked, red cooked (chinese) are some of my favorite tongue preparations. |

My mom used to serve it boiled, sliced and served with horseradish. Then the next day it was sandwiches on rye bread with spicy mustard. yum.

I also enjoy beef tongue prepared in the same way as corned beef, and especially in sandwiches.
But every time I hear beef tongue mentioned, it reminds me of a scene in All in the Family, where Edith tells Archie they're having tongue for dinner. He replies "Edith, I can't eat anything that's been in an animal's mouth. Fix me some eggs, willya, huh?" |

LOL Grace, I get the same from other people.
If people who like hot dogs knew where the meat came from, I bet a lot of them would appreciate beef tongue more. |

Ah... but we're getting off topic now. |

In the recent thread on sandwiches, BDL mentioned tongue, and I asked if it was smoked or pickled. I haven't had pickled tongue for years, it is sort of like corned beef with some vinegar involved along the way. Time to dig out some recipes and give it a try.

I've never had pickled or smoked tongue.
Would it be off topic for me to suggest my favorite tongue ever was attached to a woman and there was something to do with kissing? I guess it would. So ignore this.
I can imagine vinegar could really do something for beef tongue.
